I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 19: THE LION MAN
Tegir who heard the cry was very surprised, he said doubtfully "Uncle Loin cooperates with humans? What are they really thinking?".
Before Tegir could do anything else, the voice of a very careful man sounded "Rolir, your voice is too big! What if someone else hears our conversation?".
"Loin, don't try to divert the conversation! Quickly answer my question, did you really decide to become followers of those humans?", said someone named Rolir, Elos knows that most likely this Rolir is the father of Tegir.
There was no more noise from the house for a while until Loin sighed "Rolir, I will not hide anything from you, we lion-men have indeed decided to become followers of those humans! Although for you our actions are wrong, but I do not feel guilty because we have no other choice. If it continues to live in the barren land, it is only a matter of time before the animal humans die completely from lack of food or drink".
"Working with humans is different, we won't be short of food anymore! Maybe they will make us soldiers in the front row to fight the devil, but at least our children and wives can live without lack of food anymore. As long as our children are alive, the human race of animals will not die. Rolir, take your entire tiger population and come with us, all of our animal humans will leave this barren land together. As long as we, the 2 strongest animal human races agree then the other animal human races will not dare to refuse".
Elos slightly raised his head, he was sure that Rolir would most likely accept this invitation. After all, living continuously in the barren land would make them die from starvation, it was better to follow humans as soldiers so that their families could continue to live without any more lack of food.
But Elos never thought that Rolir would give a different answer "Loin, have you betrayed all the hard work of our ancestors all along? Though a little more, as long as we wait a little longer then the prophecy will come true! Why did you betray the hard work of your ancestors all this time?".
"Braying the ancestors?", Loin's mocking voice sounded "Rolir, open your eyes and face the reality! All the prophecies are false, our ancestors have been waiting in this barren land for hundreds of years, waiting like fools! But what happened in the end? The person in the prophecy never comes, we have to wait how long before the person in the prophecy comes? Is it when all our animal races die? Rolir, the prophecy is not true at all, it is simply the folly of our ancestors who believed in false prophecies".
"I don't mind betraying our ancestors, as long as the animal human race can still continue to live then I won't hesitate! Rather than following our ancestors who made the entire human race of animals die, I would rather follow the humans and leave the barren land. Rolir, give me your decision? If you refuse, we will be enemies! I won't hesitate, this is a requirement given the Ray Kingdom, all human animals who refuse must die!".
Rolir said with "Loin's firmness, the prophecy is true, it will surely come to the aid of our animal human race! Therefore, our job is to wait for him to come. Even our ancestors have been doing this for hundreds of years, I will not betray their hard work. Go then! We human tigers do not welcome traitors like you".
Loin's angry voice could be heard "Is this your decision? All right, don't be sorry! After your entire tiger human race dies, I will see if you can still be as confident as you are now! See you again, on the battlefield of life and death!".
Not long after, the door before the eyes of Elos and the others opened.
The figure of a man who was angry and had a beard and hair almost the same as a lion can be seen emerging from the open door, at first he was a little surprised to see Tegir and the others standing at the door.
After learning that it was Tegir, the anger on his face disappeared and was replaced by a smile "Son Tegir, did you go hunting? You're all grown up now, even looking much stronger than before".
"Thank you, uncle Loin" said Tegir slightly bowing politely.
Loin nodded and patted Tegir on the shoulder before leaving the place, it seemed that he could no longer stay longer in this place.
The man's voice froze when he discovered the whereabouts of Elos and the others, then he looked at Tegir "How many times have you said, don't bring anyone other than our tiger human race to this city. Who are these people?".
Tegir immediately explained as quickly as possible "Dad, this is lord Elos, that person is his woman and the zombie is his follower. We had a misunderstanding earlier in the desert, I too almost died. But Lord Elos came to protect my life, didn't you always teach me to thank the people who helped me escape death?".
Hearing Tegir's explanation, a friendly smile appeared on his father's face. Tegir's father looked at Elos "It turns out Mr. Elos, thank you for helping my son, as a father then I am very grateful. My name is Rolir, the mayor of the tiger man".
Elos also smiled kindly "It's a small matter, however I went wrong on this matter because my followers almost killed Tegir".
"In a fight, it's not strange to kill each other so it's good for you to let Tegir live. Let us thank you, even if we can't prepare a fancy meal but at least some good enough food can be prepared as a token of gratitude", rolir said while bringing Elos and the others home.
"Uncle Rolir, there's no need to call me so polite, you can call me son of Elos. Besides, I'm not much different than Tegir, even though I'm a skull. Then this woman is my wife, Riona" said money-introducing Elos herself.
Hearing this, Rolir nodded "Son Elos, you are very polite. If Tegir can learn from your politeness then it will be better".
Rolir let Elos, Riona and the Zombie Warrior sit on the living room chair. There was nothing in the living room of this house except a large enough table and chairs around it, no sign of the luxury of a mayor that he should have.
Elos who had sat back to look at Rolir, there was a reason why Elos called him uncle because Rolir had a rank strength of 7.2 levels higher than Elos.
Although Tiger Man City was located in a barren land, Rolir's strength as mayor was indeed not to be underestimated.
When everyone was seated, Rolir shouted "Samia, Ilina, prepare the best meal for our guests!".
After shouting, Rolir explained to Elis "Samia is my wife, she is very beautiful while Ilima is a daughter and her sister Tegir. She inherited her mother's beauty and my strength, if Mr. Elis is interested then I can try to introduce her".
A killing aura could be felt from Riona's body, Rolir could also feel that killing aura so he said as quickly as possible "Misunderstand, I'm just kidding! How could the son of Elos be interested in my son after having a woman as beautiful as the son of Riona, hahahahaha".
Rolir cleans the cold sweat on his face, he completely forgot about Riona's previous existence which made him try to introduce his son Ilina to Elos, although Elos is still rank 9 but Rolir can feel that the talent of Elos is not inferior to him even much stronger than he was young. At least when he was the age of Elos, Rolir could not defeat the Zombie Warrior of Elos.
